A US judge has been removed from the bench for jailing an entire courtroom audience after none of them admitted being responsible for a ringing phone.
Judge Robert Restaino was presiding over a domestic violence case in the city of Niagara Falls in March 2005.
A commission on judicial conduct said Judge Restaino had acted "without any semblance of a lawful basis" and behaved like a "petty tyrant".

It's a shame when judges have a breakdown in public--- but still entertaining because most of them think their poop don't stink like anyone elses.
I applaud the people who didn't turn in their neighbour. |
